Adding or deleting database records

Adding records

    To add a new record to a database:
    1 If you're not already in Browse or List mode, choose Browse or List from the Layout menu.
    2 Choose New Record from the Edit menu.
    3 Enter data into the fields.

    Tip: For records that will contain information similar to an existing record, you can avoid some retyping by selecting the record and choosing Duplicate Record from the Edit menu.

Deleting records

    To permanently delete a record from a database:
    1 If you're not already in Browse or List mode, choose Browse or List from the Layout menu.
    2 Select one or more records to delete.
    3 Choose Delete Record from the Edit menu.

    Tip: To temporarily work with only a subset of records, you can find specific records or hide records.
